Housing help please

We live in a one bedroom flat in London with our 8 month old baby. Originally we were going to buy the place but pulled out after getting the offer letter because we live on an estate and the estimated major works charge is crazy - we would never be able to afford it. Been on homeswapper trying to match with someone who needs to downsize for a few months but not having much luck (was on it previously for years to move to a different area but for one bedroom). Stopped saving to buy a house because of mat pay will restart when I return to work end of the year bit I am just panicking. I feel like we are out growing our flat quickly as there is limited storage. Where else can I look at moving to somewhere bigger but that would also allow us to continue saving towards buying a house outside of London?

You're living in London, which is expensive, to save for a house outside of London. Ideally you want a place outside of London with less COL to be able to save for that house.
